Phoe's Tumblr Drabbles
A Winter Gala
Part 1: Dragoway – "I'll smash it, I swear." - "You smash it and we're done."
"I'll smash it, I swear."
"You smash it and we're done", warned Lissa with a serious frown.
"You can't make me wear this. I look ridiculous", groaned her wife. "Don't make me wear it."
Lissa's smile was wry as she shook her head and took the diadem away from Rose. "Okay, fine. You don't have to wear it. But you also don't have to break it, you know?"
"I hate royaling it up", grumbled Rose with a pout.
Lissa bit her lips at the endearing pout. Leaning in, Lissa kissed Rose softly, making her sigh. As much as Rose might love her wife, she absolutely hated being royal consort to the queen whenever that entailed anything posh or pretentious. Sometimes, Rose missed their teenage days of living in their ratty little apartment, just the two of them, no Moroi, no royal duties.
"Come on, it's our kids' first winter ball, we do have some motherly duties to embarrass them", teased Lissa with a nearly mischievous smile, knowing that would motivate them.
Their children. The thought made Rose smile still, her chest swelling with pride. She had never seen herself as the motherly type, really. But Lissa? Lissa was so good. And the kids also had their two dads so there was that. Yes, their family was a bit messy and maybe unorthodox and technically, legally, only one of the children was that of Rose and Lissa – well, Lissa, Rose mattered little to the Moroi. Lissa was the queen, Lissa needed an heir. Christian Ozera had been willing to donate his part to that heir, Andre Eric Dragomir. Officially, Rose's adopted son and the heir to the queen.
But the girls had made a bit of a deal with Christian and his husband there. The biological off-spring of Mason and Rose was a badass dhampir named Liliana Natasha Ozera, who mainly grew up with her two dads. It was just... easier said than done, to say that this child will be ours and this child will be yours, because both held parts of the other. Rose truly never had seen herself as a mom, not even while pregnant, especially while pregnant she could not wait to get her body back all to herself. But then Lily had been born and this perfect tiny little baby? That had come out of her and had her eyes.
Needless to say, both kids spend their time divided between two sets of parents and they had both grown up viewing each other as siblings even though biologically and legally speaking they were not. But all of that mattered very little to the Dragomir-Ozera clan.
"Andy! Time to get going! Wouldn't want to leave your sister and dads waiting", called Rose out.
/break\
They always made a fuss whenever Queen Vasilisa Dragomir entered the room. It was ridiculous and Rose would never tire of snickering at it. She? She was just the royal consort. She was fine with that. Would prefer even less of a fuss though. Primarily though, she was also the queen's dhampir guard. And that was a position she really prided herself on.
"Moms! You came!", exclaimed Lily Ozera as soon as she spotted them.
The brunette girl jumped them and hugged both Rose and Lissa tightly, smiling at them. They really had made two amazing children. Rose grinned as she ruffled Lily's hair. Lily looked beautiful in her long, red dress. She smiled and ducked her head, tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Your dads not around?", asked Lissa curiously.
"No. You know dad, he gets easily agitated when he has to be around so many people so he essentially groaned and returned to his office after ten minutes. Papa went after him to coax him back out of the room", replied Lily with a smile.
"Lil. Come on", grunted Andy, looking uncomfortable as he had his arms crossed over his chest. "Those school balls suck enough as it is. I don't need to hang out with moms."
"Thanks, kiddo!", called Rose out sarcastically. "I feel so loved."
Lissa chuckled amused as their kids ran off to hang out with their friends instead. While Rose huffed, Lissa linked hands with her wife and pulled Rose along toward the dance-floor.
"What are you doing, Lissa?", asked Rose wearily.
The smile Lissa offered her was straight-up sly as she wrapped her arms around Rose's neck. "Dancing with my wife, quite obviously. We are at a dance and we are all dressed up."
"And we did miss most of our own Yule Ball thanks to a certain someone getting abducted back in the day", grunted Rose with a pout as she wrapped her own arms around Lissa's waist.
Fancy dancing was not exactly Rose's thing. Seeing Lissa smile and holding her in her arms though? Now that was most definitely Rose's thing. Returning her wife's smile, Rose leaned more into Lissa and swayed along to the music, amid all the teens and a couple other parents.
The Yule Ball was a bit of a larger event these days, many families also attended it. Maybe it was the new headmaster's own sense of family. And for the most part, they kept apart. While the kids partied in one room, the parents had a bit of a banquet thing going on that was a coupling of posing and showing off as well as parent-teacher night, in a way.
"Aw, look at our kids dancing with the Dashkovs", grinned Rose teasingly.
The four of them had been rather inseparable since diapers, the two Dashkovs being the best friends of the Ozera-Dragomirs. Lissa hummed in acknowledgment as she watched them dance.
"Lissa! Rose! Oh, you made it!", exclaimed Natalie excited as she spotted them. "Look at our kids! Oh, Lily looks beautiful. And Andy really does look like the prince he is, doesn't he?"
"Hello, Natalie", chuckled Rose amused and hugged her briefly.
"Join us at the table?", asked Natalie hopefully.
"Sure thing. Lead the way", agreed Rose, linking hands with Lissa.
The three had become very close friends after Natalie's dad had abducted and nearly killed Lissa. It had been a tough call, but in the end Natalie had chosen her friends over her father and for that, Rose and Lissa had taken her into their own family. Now, Natalie was happily married to Mason's best non-Rose friend Eddie Castile and they had two kids. Back during their high school, she had nearly given all future up to become Strigoi just because her father had gotten into her head. But thankfully the amazing, unbeatable duo of Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir had wormed their way into Natalie's heart and made a difference. That was just what they did.
